The biggest Sunday blues ever, first day back to work after a long summer off.

I imagine many kids are also dreading it.
Hats off to teachers, I think dealing with the attitude of teenagers and the entitlement of parents who protect their children from consequences of their hideous behaviour must be soul destroying. Hopefully a few nice ones in each class to offset the horrid.

Decided this is my last year. Think will go earli and become a TA. After 32 years I've had enough. The pace is relentless

Honestly, it's eye opening the pressures that teachers have to face and the crazy hours. I have a chance to do my QTS but I am just not ready to put in that many hours while my children are young. Hats off to all the teachers that cope with the relentless timetable.

Just think every day brings you closer to the next glorious summer off!

Very true.

Why did you have the whole summer off? Are you a teacher?

Teaching assistant and I know we're lucky to have summer off but it's like any job when you have time off you don't want to go back. The longer you have off the worse it gets!
